What is the verification page for when I make a booking?

This is a security check to make sure that fans all have fair access to tickets. There is software out there that allows people to buy large numbers of tickets in a short space of time, which isn't very fair. The word verification we use is called reCAPTCHA. This service is used to digitise books, newspapers and old radio shows – words are chosen from the reCAPTCHA database completely at random, so when you type them in, our system knows you're a human, not a machine.
